And, if you tollerate poor performance, there is no correction, and no learning taking place... as a CFI, I would think that you would be aware of that.... so... tollerating the whining without helping them understand just how lucky they are is not doing them any good.
Actually, that is a good point. Since I work at a career school, so many of my students are pursuing the career because they think it is easy and glamorous. There is no substitute for a genuine passion for flying. Some of these students were very difficult because they were used to being able to BUY anything (with their parent's money) instead of EARNING IT! I can teach a monkey to fly, but it is very difficult to teach a monkey to take personal responsibility and make responsible PIC decisions if things were always handed to them.
